It's been a long journey since Anne started Sustaina Company by introducing the e-learning platform community (AKA Sustainawear Community).

Back then, she started with an idea for an approach that would make sustainability simple and manageable.

An approach she decided to name The Elephant Approach. 

But as you know, the field of sustainability is constantly evolving - and so must our elephant.

So, without further ado:

Allow us to present our new elephant: The ESG Elephant.  

The ESG Elephant

The new ESG elephant is divided into three main topics: E, S, and G, which of course stand for Environmental Social Governance.

The first part of the Elephant covers the different subjects concerning the E, i.e. environmental factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and waste management. 

The second part of the Elephant represents the social factors. 

In its totality, it concerns human rights and equity and looks into aspects from child labour and animal welfare to migrant workers and unions.

All to ensure social sustainability within your value chain.

Lastly, we find the G, governance, at the end of the elephant. 

This concerns how your company is controlled and directed. It has to do with management, practices, and structures in your company.

Some of the important aspects of governance are Due Diligence, Code of Conduct and Policies, Traceability, and Reporting.

Although we have listed a few examples of some of the aspects within the elephant, it is important to recognize all the terms and aspects within both the E, S, and G. 

All should be taken into consideration in our business practices to take responsibility for the nature of our impact on the people and planet.

And guess what - we have more exciting news for you!

Remember that e-learning platform we mentioned?

We are relaunching it with new and updated videos. 

So if you want to know more about our ESG elephant and how to work with it, we recommend you keep an eye out for updates (and a new webinar next year...)

We expect to launch the “new” platform in the beginning of the new year.
